I have, region has been changed to Ireland, logged out of all devices, logged back in on PC and region set to Rep Ireland yet I still can't get Picard? I'll get onto chat and see what the story is.

I've still got access to everything using Getflix. Don't know if that will change in future.

Does it work properly if you use a smart dns instead of a vpn? They awful pricks. I can get hbo max no problem from the US with a vpn and a paid subscription. To be honest watched feic all on prime anyway. Have a fire stick though so was handy for some things. I assume if I change my video location from Uk to Ireland the Home Screen prime video links won’t work any more? It’s a known issue and can of course be gotten around by going into the prime video app.

The football quality was quite good in 4K hdr.

Ah well.

There was a link in the email to just change the Primevideo region (rather than the full Prime region change)

peteeeed · 01-01-2021 02:16PM

Ive got it back on my laptop but not on the tv app

No point blaming Amazon as they are simply complying with legal contracts. Have a go at Nigel Farage maybe.

Cancelled my sub as there isn’t much worth watching, even Outlander is blocked now!

Me neither

UK Prime content still working on desktop using NordVPN. Not working on my firesticks or shows. Disaster. Fcuking Brexit.

Edit** working on Firestick using NordVPN.

Yep and when I look at the first row of items in My Prime> Prime

Line him up and I'll take a swing at him.

yankinlk · 01-01-2021 03:10PM

Prime app on my phone seems normal? Is there a chance I been using irish prime all along??

01-01-2021 03:12PM

Amazon must act as they will lose subscribers, they will have to get content which is licenced for uk/Ireland as other channels do!

Same here. It should be pretty solid I’d say. I use it mainly for iPlayer but I did notice on their homepage they have a setting for Prime set to UK so all good I’d say.

gmisk · 01-01-2021 03:46PM

I was getting absolutely nothing this morning.
I was Amazon UK content, use VPN unlimited so switched to the Amazon prime for USA on that, seems ok on the things I watch so far

01-01-2021 03:47PM

I was accessing prime uk from here but changed it back to Ireland and outlander and vikings is back.

ShamoBuc · 01-01-2021 03:57PM

Had a few days left of my 30 day free Prime trial, checked when it was due to finish, saw I had an extra 30 day Free Prime Offer, happy days.

No they are pricks. We can tune all Uk free to air satellite channels here. Who’s guarding the bbc contract deals?

VPN will get you us prime video but you Irish /UK prime membership doesn't follow to the states. How are you watching us content? Did you take out a US prime membership?

"free to air" means just that. Amazon Prime Video is a subscription service.

The argument is they have all these content deals. I wouldn’t mind if it worked with a vpn. What do people do in the uk that want to use a vpn for security reasons?

beauf · 01-01-2021 04:11PM

It's a trade off.

They turn off the vpn for prime video. VPNs aren't actually very good for security.

I lost all my good content and then turned on my VPN (Express) , set it to London, and now it's all back. I'm using the Fire stick on my TV.

Ignore the parts about VPNs. It will show you how to change location
